 Ozempic Usage Log

I was diagnosed type 2 Diabetic Friday 7 May 2004

I have been on different pills since Monday 10 March 2023 but never on the needle!

For years, different MDs and RNs tried to convince me to "go on the needle" (my term), insulin, saying I would feel better. I remembered the huge needles and the number of times a day my late Father and late youngest brother Charlie had to use. That was not for me!

On Monday, 13 February 2023 my VA Nurse Practitioner told me my A1C was climbing and that I would either have to go on insulin daily or Ozempic once a week. She said I no longer had a choice. She also said VA provided Ozempic is "much, much less" than in the civilian market [words to that effect]. (It is!)

So, I agreed to "go on the needle".

I received my first Ozempic Pen 21 February 2023 A couple of RNs at the local VA clinic supervised me giving myself that first shot. It basically did not hurt!

Thus, I am going to be on Ozempic "for the duration". The main affects are I've lost appetite and do not have much interest in drinking alcohol. (My interest in drinking has been dropping for years anyway.)

Here, then, is my running record:
